I assume that there is still no free plugin to KLite which will prevent leeches from uploading.
Currently, when someone is uploading from me, I do a search of their files. If no files are found, I cancel the upload. If they keep trying to upload, I stop sharing the file, cancel their upload again, and then wait a few minutes before I start sharing the file again.
By my count, approximately 80% of the users trying to upload from me are leeches.
Is there a better way to prevent leeching? Is this what everybody else does?
It seems to me that the biggest problem with Kazaa is the leeches, and there needs to be an automatic way to prevent it.
